Introductory Python Programming for Genomics

An inherent part of genomics research is the creation and then analysis of large quantities of data. A variety of useful tools are available for data analysis; however, research often requires the skill to create software scripts to extend the analysis. You will learn the basics of the Python programming language. Lectures will foster developing the basics through the process of writing code. Discussion sections will build on the skills from lectures by applying them to complete assigned problem sets. Problem sets are designed to learn good coding style, logic, and the use Python libraries. No programming experience is required.
